Rich.2211 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Pics and links needed ! Little things like this that make a big difference tbf mate ! Here's the links to the bolts I bought http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261337846038?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251407946446?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251407946445?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261358343826?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 I've also just ordered an MVP style front lip, with the ears, from California for a very good price (even with import fees). Tempted to get my front bumper smoothed out whilst I'm at it Oh, and my front tyres are en route, new sandwich plate, 7 litres of Fuchs Titan Pro S and a K&N filter because I'm sad Here's the link to the front lip: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330954368609?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 Edited February 17, 2014 by Rich.2211 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_sri Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Yeah I would definitely get it all smoothed in what sandwich plate you gone for.. Undecided what I'm going for yet but will probably run turbo feed oil cooler and temp/pressure sensors for good measure Edited February 18, 2014 by rob_sri (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid_Flake Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Nice work! This style exhaust manifold is good for fast response if im not wrong. I wonder what power it will put to the ground . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made sure it was the double o-ringed one though for extra reassurance against leaks. Used one last time and it was fine but I sold it to Scott without thinking! Dumb dumb moment!

I wonder what power it will put to the ground . Everything is ready for some decent power apart from the gearbox. Even the Stage 5 clutch will hold decent power (more than the gearbox haha). I'll get it on the dyno once it's back together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Pipe work looks amazing. Custom pipes always look a bit crap, these looks OEM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Just picked up my downpipe. Lyndon's wife, Kate, has welded an additional boss on for an AFR gauge along with a 4" long flexi section and made me some blanking plates for the now redundant stock O2 sensor bosses. Huge thanks to her for the excellent work Also, I've received another 7 litres of Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 10W50 and a K&N oil filter all in awe of potentially firing her up this weekend. Oh, my other two tyres arrived as well. Room is getting rather full! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Looking good, but the AFR sensor is likely to overheat there. http://www.aemelectronics.com/Images/Products/Installation%20Instructions%2030-4100.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I haven't actually got an AFR gauge of my own yet but it's more for Lyndon to use when mapping so I'll have to 'suck it and see' as they say. It won't be any great ordeal to weld another boss onto the second decat pipe if needs be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 It also says "mount at least 18" downstream". Rear of mid-pipe covers all bets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodalmighty Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 It will be fine, If you were running full tilt around the Nurburgring you might get some lambda drift but any decent lambda compensation configuration in the map would desist when the % went out of tolerance and revert to open loop state which should have a bias towards rich anyway. Giving a shoeing at Santa pod or giving it the full moo every now and then when over taking won't trouble it. In the 10 years I've been calibrating ecu's I've only ever cooked 2 LSU 4.2 sensors and both of those were running sited virtually inside the turbo housing. Lyndon. Ahh, I see the quote "If you anticipate high EGT's (over 800C), run a turbocharger, run at high RPM for extended periods of time or plan on running leaded race fuel then you must mount the sensor at least 36 inches or more downstream of the exhaust port as all of these can cause the sensor to overheat."

That's good to hear then, one less thing for me to worry about. I've ordered the air intake temp sensor and connector that you emailed me by the way, should arrive later this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 That's a sexy looking pipe. It was a eBay bargain. £90 brand new for the 3" diameter cat-back system. It's stainless too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.2211 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Lots of progress! The Supra is back on the road now and flew through the MOT the other day with no advisories On Tuesday evening I went out to do some mapping with Lyndon (Nod Land) on the road @ wastegate pressure of 0.9 BAR but conditions didn't allow any foot to the floor action as it's just a little bit aggresive Final mapping will be in the next few days or so, as soon as we have the weather to put some power down! Below are a few snap shots of progress along the way. Exhaust system built back up including a new 3" Whifbitz decat pipe, new bolts and new gaskets: NGK Iridium spark plugs fitted replacing the previous copper items. Example of one of the new ones on the right: Intercooler pipework fitted, exhaust fitted, 4" alloy intake pipe fitted, K&N filter fitted, wastegate plumbed in, oil feed and return lined made up with Goodridge braided hoses and fitted, oxygen sensor refitted etc. All the other odds and sods finished off: New front drop links as the dust covers had split on the previous ones. The eagle eyed will notice I cut the old one off - pretty much to be expected if you find yourself replacing these: Calipers painted and Supra decals applied: Arches undersealed and brake discs tidied up (excuse the over spray on the friction surface, soon cleared after a drive ). All four arches were done along with the sills which consisted of removing all the arch liners, skirts and side pods: 4 new Toyo T1 Sports fitted to my wheels: Sneaky pic of the calipers through the wheels showing off my red nuts Stuck some arm rest covers on for good measure to match my steering wheel: Nice shiny heater knobs to match my custom painted stereo: Frozen Supra badge : Decided to get a new front bumper as the old one was trimmed for my previous intercooler pipework. Wasn't really happy with the condition of it so had it resprayed, badge and number plate recess smoothed out along with ordering a polyurethane front lip from the States' and fitting that. The picture below is just with the bumper 'resting' on the lip to get an idea of the shape. Pictures further down show it all fitted: Doing the finishing touches: Got a few photoshoots lined up in the future for some decent full car pics. I shall post up the results and will also try and get some vids up once mapping is finished.

Rich.2211 Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Cheers for all the comments Where did you get the downpipe mate. Jekyl is looking for one. It came as part of the NA-T kit from Whifbitz but I then had it modified afterwards to include the 4" flexi section, O2 boss and blanking plates.
